The STAR TREK family has lost another today as news that actor Brock Peters has died at age 78. The actor who endeared himself to TREK fans as 'Admiral Cartwright' in STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME and again in a stunning twist in THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year.
Peters also played 'Joseph Sisko', father of Avery Brooks' character on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE. Peters appeared in several episodes as the Louisiana chef and restauranteur. Peters, who was born George Fisher in 1927, is perhaps best known for his role as 'Tom Robinson', a man falsely accused of rape in TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD (1962). Recounting co-star Gregory Peck from that film, Peters once remarked that it was the only time he had ever received a welcome call from a fellow actor after earning the role in a production.
Throughout a career that began in the 1950s, Peters worked alongside the likes of Sidney Poitier, Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, and Sammy Davis, Jr. Accolades include a Tony Award for the play LOST IN THE STARS.
Peters also provided the voice for 'General Mi'Qogh' in the recent game STAR TREK: STARFLEET COMMAND III, according to TrekToday. More in CNN's obituary. Learn more about Brock Peters at the Wikipedia.
TrekWeb speaks for fans everywhere when we say Peters will be missed and we were all fortunate to have witnessed his talents in the realm of STAR TREK.
